My family and I visited this location because of Yelp. We've only been to Fremont twice, with this…read morevisit being our second one and it was nice to stop at this establishment so that we could sample their beverages. We didn't realize that the DIY Tea Lab also shares the same space with Just Poke so that was a nice surprise, though, we didn't order any poke because we just ate lunch at a nearby pho restaurant. For the drinks, I got the Mango Sago and my husband ordered the Matcha Coco with Sea Salt Ube Cream. We were the only customers in line during our visit which was nice. Staffing is the same for both Just Poke and DIY Tea Lab but they have two separate registers. The person that helped us was busy making a poke plate for a customer upon entering but he helped us fairly quickly. I shared the mango sago with my two toddlers and they loved it! The drink had a good balance of sweetness. The pairing of the sago and chunks of mango was perfection with the drink. The matcha coco with ube cream was also delicious. The ube cream went well with the matcha. And the boba had a soft, yet chewy texture. As a side note, the employee who made our drinks realized that he forgot to put the ube cream after he sealed the drink. He made us a new drink and he let us keep the other drink which was very kind gesture. Really, I can't say anything negative about our orders and customer service. If we didn't have to drive an hour at this establishment, we would probably frequent this area more, though one downside is that parking can be hard to find. Street parking seems to be the only option. We parked two blocks away because there was no available parking nearby. We paid $7 for 4 hours although there is a an option of $5 for 2 hours. We wanted to explore the area so we paid for more hours.

They had a lot of tea options, so we had to make sure we're getting the right one. My gf is obsessed with milk tea, and been on the hunt for the phoenix oolong. So far this is the only place she's been able to find in Seattle that sells it. I ordered the Rock milk tea, and it had a strong tea flavor and a good dark aroma. It's exactly the way I like my milk tea! I feel this place to be authentic with their tea leaves, and they seem to be really knowledgeable about their menu. So if you're really specific with your tea flavors, or just want to try something different than your usual black or green tea, then I recommend this.

Luckily everyone was patient and can clearly see he was working hard, and he did let us know that it might take a while. He was a hard worker. The boba place is very tea forward with a variety of options. There were a handful of drinks that had an interesting name, such as, Iron Buddha, but I wish there was a description of what the drink was. I didn't want to ask too many questions given the growing line. I don't think any of the drinks included toppings, so that's an additional charge. I guess it's been a while since I had boba cause the average price was $7-8 without any toppings! The drink was great and tasted delicious, but the operation itself can be better.

The staff has always been extremely kind and helpful from Jeannie down to every employee I have known there. They are even patient when I ask for the gyokuro that needs to be steeped at the lower temperature, and I appreciate that a lot. Anyways, why is there like no art on the walls? It is so nice when there is art on the walls (like when the staff did their own art with the Kate Bush theme). I for one think the current lack of art is worse than whatever happened with the matcha lattes. More art would be so great. It would definitely make enjoying my favorite tea even more special.

They have a small menu of iced…read moredrinks available to order and a binder full of loose leaf teas that they sell by weight or if you want a full tea experience (cup, pitcher, kung fu tea size). Their tea selection is excellent and they also sell tea accoutrement like tea sets, cups, pots, etc. I do think prices are pretty high with the iced drinks running you just under 10 bucks, but vibes are excellent and they sell croissants from Maddy's Bakeshop, which are absolutely banging. Vibes are excellent, but only a few tables have power outlets if you're hoping to stay for a while. Crowds on Saturday are pretty manageable, but during the Ballard Farmer's Market on Sunday, it can get a bit crazy with lines out the door.

I ordered some of their signature dishes and some dishes I would commonly order in Taiwanese restaurants, and they were all great. Everything tasted as authentically as I could imagine, ranging from the popcorh chicken to the minced pork over rice. My friend ordered the meat lover malatang, which was like a spicy soup with lots of ingredient such as bean sprouts, quail eggs, enoki mushroom, and so on, almost resembling hot pot style. I personally didn't have any complaints in terms of flavor as everything tasted great. My only minor criticism was that for the minced pork over rice, the pork's broth was a bit watery. Highly recommend for anyone looking for Taiwanese food in the Seattle area!

I was ordering a drink but was super thirsty and asked for some water, the person making the drinks said sure he can provide tap water but that I needed to complete my order on the iPad first and show him the receipt to prove I bought something before he'd give me tap water... Okay, thats fine and reasonable, I completed my order and showed him the receipt. My number was 67. He looks at it and says "okay I'll give you tap water when I make your drink order". I look at the number tracking what order is currently being made, it says 58.... 58?!!?! I was so thirsty and just ordered TWO drinks... You're getting plenty of business out of me why can't you just fill a small cup with tap water and hand it to me? :( Ended up waiting 42 minutes for him to finish making my drink to receive my tap water.......
